Builders,
This Friday and Saturday, the 16th and 17th, Zenith Aircraft will be holding their 30th Homecoming at the Factory in Mexico MO, about 100 miles west of St. Louis. It will be a great event, and all homebuilders are welcome, not just Zenith builders. You do not need reservations, but I suggest getting a pair of dinner tickets early.
.
I will be there for the 19th consecutive year. It is a great event where a few hundred builders can meet component manufacturers, tour the factory, take in workshops and demonstrations, sit in on panel discussions, all in a very friendly atmosphere. There is free on site camping, and a lot of builder camaraderie last into the evenings.
.
If you are a Corvair builder, bring any part with you, I will be taking parking lot inspection tours both days. We have several builders flying in, with both low wing and high wing Zeniths. I will be there both days, all day, and I’m looking forward to meeting many of you. Don’t let the opportunity pass you by.
